Well, contrary to what you will often see on T.V. gasoline will not explode. It does however burn very fast and because of its low flash point, it is unstable and can be set off by very little amounts of heat or a very small, or few sparks. When you light gasoline on fire, all that happens is it burning very quick and hot. Try it yourself, it wont blow up, Ive tried many times. If gasoline blew up like most people believe and how it does on T.V. then terrorists would obviously be using it for bombings, and it would probably have a lot more rules about it. When was the last time you saw or heard of a car actually blowing up in an accident? Never, because the gas tank will just combust and burn rapidly.
To the person the wrote the statement above: You are wrong.
Please watch a little bit more mythbusters, there are a few episodes they use gasoline to explode.
Another thing you need an open flame to ignite gasoline sparks MAY do it but not likely, and before you say anything no dropping a ciggerate in gas will not light it a flame.

When a boiled potato is placed in a solution with a higher concentration of solute, water molecules will move out of the potato cells, causing it to shrink and become wrinkled. To improve this, you can immerse the boiled potato in a hypotonic solution, where the concentration of solute is lower than inside the potato cells, to allow water to move back into the cells, making the potato firm and hydrated again.
